The guys at 888 have gone far enough this time. It's not enough that they don't invest anything (if they do, it doesn't show) in their poker clients mobile or PC, but one week ago, I've started having issues logging in. Technical difficulties they say. When I did manage to log in, I wanted to play a warm-up blast (strictly to warm up), but hey, I cannot do it. Contacted support and they said it's restricted for Romanian players. No notice, no reason given, nothing. Just restricted.

I play with my deposit limits quite a lot and when I visited the cashier, got the pop-up to verify my ID. Really now? I did that the first time I joined. Contacted support and they confirmed it's already verified, but for some unknown reason it doesn't show in my client. Why? No idea, they either don't know, or don't want to tell me.

Not a problem, you might say. So did I. Went ahead with trying to modify my deposit limits. Guess what? You can't if you're not verified. Back to the support team. They gave me a copy-paste crap response/tutorial on how to click on the friggin' Deposit Limits link. Like I'm some kind of a turd who's beaten by a pointer on screen.

Meanwhile, the login issues persisted. When I did get to play today, about 2h in, I notice something nice in the top corner. My progress for the Poker Club & Tokens wasn't even counted. Well, well, how the f.... am I a level 0 all of the sudden? Back to support. Still waiting for a reply on this. Maybe something copied from their website? That would be nice! I'm so damn dumb, I cannot use Google.

Overall, everything on 888 is going downhill. I didn't even mention the S-T tournaments I was in when I got disconnected and when I was able to finally re-join the game, I had half a stack.

I'll be using my tickets, I instructed the support team to restrict all my deposits so as not to be tempted to reconsider and I'll be out of their platform for good.

How in Gods name do you want to compete with PS when you can't even hire people that can do just A BIT more than a copy-paste?

Was a smart decision to quit playing on their platform.Me too had several issues like you in the past.

""""Hey guys, please don't get used to amphetamine, it's really fast and it can't compete with heroine. I was sitting on amphetamine for years, but now i'm going back to heroine because it was way to fast for me and i've missed the whole thing.
How do these amph dealers are going to compete with heroine dealers if they can't do little more than "buy-resell" for their customers? I'm calling my amph dealer to say that i'm refusing to pay for new stuff and there will be no deposits from my side from now on""""

Have you liked the above Stand-up comedy? or hmm, maybe it was a tragedy? I'm not a drug user and this isn't a propaganda of drugs, it's just a joke that shows something. Do you know what this joke shows?

It's really sad to hear that some poker site has stopped serotonin and adrenalin production inside your body for your personal reasons or reasons related to your location, but was it necessary to type all of this here? Do you actually think that someone cares about these poker sites or about your opinion about these poker sites? Some people here do care about other people, that's why i'm typing this message. Maybe this will help?

""""Maybe it will help? I Dunno, I dunno, I dunno, Where are my pills? my pills? my pills? Six of diamonds and Jack of spades, my pills, BUT it was a flush draw!!!!, my pills, my pills, Hey that poker site screwed my life! Where are my pills? Where is the nurse? I dunno, I dunno."

- These voices inside my head, they're terrible!

- Who is it?

- Who am I?

- You?

- It's me? It's you? You are me? You've got it buddy.

- GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

P.S.

Homework:
1) To learn the difference between objective and subjective thinking.
2) To live a life.

i feel you man. i have the same experience with 888 poker as well. Signed up with them a years back when they were running promo heavily. But i have left this site since then.

I started playing on 888 first and had no issues. The last week or so they’ve had nothing but problems and couldn’t even log in until the last day or so. They were down much much longer than when PokerStars was down a while ago and gave no compensation whereas PokerStars gave away $500,000 worth of tickets to their WCOOP. I have also found that PokerStars offers a much wider variety of tournaments and limits. I just need to figure how to easily transfer my bankroll without paying crazy fees.

I had issues with connection on the site in the past 2 weeks , and despite that
and the fact i lost my roll there due to a drunken session last weekend
i still love the site , the structure of their tournaments, the fields , competition
and the client itself its easy to get around .
So i really hope they will work in their client stability and try not to lose
their player base.

drunken poker is the fastest way to blow your roll ...done it myself a few times but whats going on now is some kind of dos attack or ransome deal ….I hope it gets resolved soon cause this has been going on for what two weeks now .

Yep, 888 sucks. Really hoped to have found another site to play on aside from Stars, but I think PS really is the only site worth playing on.

Only problem with 888 is that I can't play there anymore.

re: Poker & Extremely upset with 888

Looks like I'm not the only one to have had it with 888. Unfortunately Party Poker isn't running in Romania and PS is the only option, aside for quitting poker altogether.

888 had issues at least since last sunday.
They report it as a dos (denial of service) attack.

When a site has 'issues', don't play there for a while, as you're likely to lose (some) money.

During the last year, I've seen issues on ps, pp, 888, uni, acr; these are among 'the best' rooms.

888 has reduced alot of it's payouts for quite a few scheduled tourneys. the whale went from 100+k to 50k, the fiesta went from 10k to 3k, the goldfish went from 1k to 300 and same with the r&a frenzy going from 1k to 600 and 300. i get that they do decent freerolls but i don't play the decent tourneys anymore after watching them take half the guarenteed money.

Another problem with 888 Poker is the only cash out option for Canadians is a bank wire transfer correct me if I'm wrong along with an undesirable bank fee. I have no clue why they do this and with Poker Stars and Party Poker there are no bank fees.

I've been having issues too but on the sportsbook.. it's really frustrating. I ended up switching to another site.
